(NYSE: HLT) announced today that the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has reversed the verdict entered against the
company in the case of Brooks vs. Hilton. That 1989 decision, in the
U.S. District Court for Nevada, had awarded approximately $45 million in
damages to 37 former Las Vegas Hilton employees who were terminated in
1983.

"We are extremely pleased by this result," said Barron Hilton, chairman and president of Hilton Hotels Corp. "Hilton has always been proud of its reputation as an exemplary employer. Having this cloud removed is a great result for us."
